Avoid unwanted downtime with resilient high availability and disaster recovery.

Minimize unwanted downtime for critical business applications

InfoScale Availability provides high availability and disaster recovery over any distance for your critical business services, including individual databases, custom applications, and complex multitier applications across physical and virtual environments.

Intelligent monitoring for applications and infrastructure detects possible risks to availability and automatically recovers applications when needed. InfoScale automatically detects site outages and either automatically or at your command will recover to a disaster recovery site. With built-in testing to proactively detect and report potential problems before they have an impact on IT services, InfoScale Availability helps minimize unwanted downtime of your critical business services.

Availability over any distance

Disaster recovery automated at every step

Disaster recovery is more than replicating data. For mission-critical applications that must remain online even in the event of a site failure, your disaster recovery strategy should also include automated application recovery.

InfoScale Availability gives you disaster recovery over any distance, allowing your organization to deploy both local high-availability and remote clustering for a complete disaster recovery solution.

Migrate applications with a single click between servers in a local data center in the same metro region, or move all applications to a data center thousands of miles away.

Maximum availability for physical and virtual infrastructure

Multiple platforms often mean multiple high-availability tools, and with them, increased complexity. This complexity can increase administrative costs and present a higher likelihood of error.

InfoScale Availability is the only solution that supports all leading operating systems, including UNIX, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and virtual platforms including VMware ESX, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV), Oracle VM, and Microsoft Hyper-V.

Ensure maximum uptime with a single solution for high availability and disaster recovery across your entire IT environment.

Automated disaster recovery testing

Seamlessly test your disaster recovery strategy anytime.

Your production environments are constantly changing. Having a regular cadence of testing your disaster recovery strategy is critical to guarantee a successful recovery in the event of an outage.

InfoScale Availability includes Fire Drill, a tool that simulates disaster recovery tests by starting up an application at the disaster recovery site as it would in an actual disaster. Because it is a simulation, Fire Drill does not disrupt production applications, so it can be run as often as necessary, eliminating the need for extensive manual weekend testing.

Out-of-box support for applications, databases, and replication technologies

Installing other clustering solutions often requires long consulting projects and custom scripting to support the different applications and databases in your environment.

With InfoScale Availability, get off-the-shelf support for a wide range of applications, including SAP®, BEA®, Siebel®, Oracle applications, Microsoft Exchange, and PeopleSoft®, as well as enterprise-class databases such as Oracle, DB2®, Microsoft SQL Server®, and Sybase®.

InfoScale Availability shields you from this complexity through Virtual Business Services (VBS)—a simple construct that internalizes the start/stop sequencing and dependency between different tiers that comprise the multitier applications.

Virtual Business Services is aware of the complete business service and can take action in the event of a failure. When an individual component of a multitier application fails, Virtual Business Services will not only recover the failed application, but it will also automatically orchestrate the connection to other computing resources needed to keep the business service available. The end result is faster recovery and minimal downtime—all without manual intervention.

Recover faster with instantaneous failure detection

Normal clustering relies on resource polling to determine the health of your application resources. This polling process increases processor overhead but, more importantly, faults may not be noticed immediately.

Intelligent Monitoring Framework in InfoScale Availability enables faster detection of faults by asynchronously monitoring selected resources. This means that failures can be detected instantaneously, instead of waiting for a nonresponse from a faulted resource. Furthermore, the CPU overhead associated with traditional, poll-based monitoring is also reduced.

Inject efficiency into cluster resource utilization

You are also ensured maximum uptime and optimal server utilization. InfoScale Availability dynamically selects a target system for application failover by determining the cluster node with the most available CPU and memory. It monitors the available capacity of systems in the cluster in terms of CPU, memory, and swap to select the optimal target based on application needs. When a failure occurs, Cluster Server can automatically choose the least utilized server to failover to, as well as add repaired servers back into the selection pool when they rejoin the cluster.

No more split brain

When intracluster communication breaks down, it is possible that two systems in a cluster could try to write to the same storage and cause data corruption.

The advanced protection logic in InfoScale Availability shields data from becoming corrupted when a split brain situation arises by providing arbitration over cluster membership decisions. This guarantees data integrity as well as availability of service.

High availability for Cisco UCS servers

InfoScale Availability supports unified data-center infrastructure by addressing high availability needs for Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS™) servers. With InfoScale Availability you can achieve high availability for your Cisco UCS servers and get automated service-profile failovers from one server to another with greatly reduced service recovery times.

InfoScale: Next-gen BC and storage management

From Storage Foundation High Availability to InfoScale

Certain products from the Storage Foundation High Availability (SFHA) family have transitioned to the newer InfoScale family, the next generation of business continuity and storage management by Veritas. In addition to broader functionality, InfoScale also offers the option of subscription licensing. Overall, the newer products have broader functionality than individual products in the previous product line.

InfoScale Operations Manager

Get more out of InfoScale at no added cost.

Role based and easy to use, Infoscale Operations Manager is a graphical interface for InfoScale (and earlier Storage Foundation High Availability) products. It adds value to the offerings and provides visibility and control, as well as comprehensive reports covering availability, servers, storage, and licenses.
